A fearless rotation around the sun

There are dates on the calendar that make you navel gaze, New Year's, anniversaries and birthdays.

Yesterday was my birthday and it was low key a lovely. Last year I spent my day learning to paddle board and floating in the Pacific ocean, yesterday I had a number of meetings, conference calls and dealing with a major project crisis. While I would have loved to be back floating under the palm trees, I am glad I spent my birthday at work. It has nearly been six months since I started and each day I am glad that I have an office to drive to and more importantly a pay check that magically appears every other week.

My job is not perfect but, every day I learn something new. I was welcomed into the fold by my team mates and work with some smart people. But the best part was my recent review where my boss said that I am fearless that I jumped in and did not look back, that I make the job look easy even though it is not.

how freaking awesome is that to be called fearless!

So "fearless" is my word for this next rotation around the sun. So here I come!

Who am I...

A native NYer who now calls Chicago home. I am a 30ish professional, part time grad student and a woman. I love to travel, to paint to read, and to wonder. My family and friends are my world and they are all over the world. Still trying to make sense of it all the good, the bad, the pretty and the ulgy. Still a bit cynical and skeptical-my New York traits but hope, dreams and desires conqure all-at least that is what I keep telling myself.

Mantra for now.....

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
